Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • Perform the Circuit System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
  • Always replace the EGR valve or EGR cooler gaskets when removal or replacement of the components are necessary.
  • Recording of Mass Air Flow parameter g/s are valid only if the Reduced Engine Power message is not present.
  1. Engine running at idle, ECT parameter must be greater than 80°C (176°F). Perform the following:
    1. Maintain engine speed at idle.
    2. With a scan tool, command the EGR solenoid to 0 percent and record the Mass Air Flow g/s parameter.
    3. With a scan tool, command the EGR solenoid to 40 percent while observing the actual EGR Position and the Mass Air Flow parameters. Record the Mass Air Flow g/s parameter. The difference between the Mass Air Flow g/s parameter at 0 percent EGR solenoid position and 40 percent EGR solenoid position should be greater than 15 g/s.
    • If the Mass Air Flow parameter does not decrease by 15 g/s or more, inspect the EGR cooler and the EGR valve passages for a restriction.
  2. Ignition OFF, inspect for the following:
    • The exhaust system for leaks, restrictions, or for modification of the original equipment manufacture (OEM) part
    • For a restriction in the air cleaner and the air intake ducts.
    • For a restriction in the turbocharger charge air cooler (CAC) system.
    • For a restriction in the intake manifold.
  3. Test the air induction system for air leaks between the MAF sensor and the turbocharger. Perform the Induction System Smoke Test. Refer to Charge Air Cooler Diagnosis (Induction System Smoke Test) or Charge Air Cooler Diagnosis (Full System Air Leak Test) .
  4. Test the charge air cooler system for leaks. Perform the Full System Air Leak Test. Refer to Charge Air Cooler Diagnosis (Induction System Smoke Test) or Charge Air Cooler Diagnosis (Full System Air Leak Test) .
  5. If the air induction, charge air cooler (CAC), and mass air flow test normal, operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. If the DTC resets, perform the Component Testing.
